Gabby is touring New York City with her family. They want to visit the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Times Square before their dinner reservations at 8:25 P.M. They want to spend 1 hour and 10 minutes at the Empire State Building, 2 hours and 50 minutes in Central Park, and 1 hour in Times Square. What is the latest time Gabby's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time?​

Answer:

3:25 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

How much time do they need for tours

Empire State Building : 1 hour 10 minutes

Central Park                   2 hour 50 minutes

Times Square                1 hour

                                       -------------------------------

                                      4 hours 60 minutes

but 60 minutes = 1 hour  so subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour

4 hours 60 minutes

+1        -60

--------------------------------

5 hours

They need 5 hours for the tours

We have to be at dinner at 8:25 so we need to start 5 hours earlier

8:25

- 5

------------------

3:25

We can start no later than 3:25 pm

Answer:

3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert into minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

Empire state building:

60 + 10 = 70

Central park:

60 + 60 + 50 = 170

Times square:

60

Now add all minutes together.

70 + 170 + 60 = 300 minutes.

Convert into hours:

300 / 60 = 5 hours.

8 - 5 = 3

So, Gabby's family can start their tour at 3:25 at most to get to dinner on time.

Hope this helped.
